Chapter 34 You're all a bit redundant as shields!

Liu Juan stood guard on one side. Outside the military hospital, a tall, slender figure stood silently beside a bicycle, waiting.

Liu Juan called the military region. Xiao Jinli had already completed the mission report, and the interrogation results from Wang Chengjun's side were still pending. He rode his bicycle over to pick them up.

Quiet times always seem to pass quickly.

Chu Lulu tightened the last screw and said, "All done."

"Liu Juan, have you tried it? Give it a try!"

Chu Lulu clapped her hands, mainly because they were too dirty and covered in oil.

Mr. Fu and Liu Juan walked forward together, looked at the lit-up instruments, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Trust is one thing, results are another.

"So clear?"

After Liu Juan tried it, she felt that it was completely different from what she had used before. Shouldn't the image presented be blurry?

So clear?

Is that correct?

Mr. Fu also realized something was wrong. After repeated tests, it was not a problem with the instrument, but rather it seemed like a new instrument had been installed, with a huge improvement in both precision and clarity.

"Deer!"

"No one is allowed to mention this."

"To outsiders, I'll say I'm giving you a lesson, understand?"

After all, it would raise suspicion if someone who doesn't belong to the hospital kept appearing there.

But Professor Fu's lectures were inherently attractive and could quell others' doubts.

"Understand!"

Chu Lulu looked at her hands. "I think I should wash my hands first."

"By the way, this instrument has been tampered with. Instruments need regular maintenance to ensure precision, but this instrument has only been used for two years and its precision is already so poor. It has been tampered with."

As for who did it, is there even a question?

People who want to make money off China!

She was just giving a reminder; how to handle it is no longer her responsibility as a single comrade.

I cleaned my hands and looked out at the pitch-black sky.

It seems like she's here to treat someone to dinner?

"Deer."

I had just stepped out of the hospital when a familiar voice came from the shadows.

Chu Lulu turned her head and smiled before speaking, "Xiao Jinli, you've come."

Liu Juan was carrying a cloth bag containing lunchboxes. Chu Lulu was about to take it, but Liu Juan snatched it from her.

Sister Lu's hands are either used for surgery or for repairing machines.

How can you do such rough work?

"Hmm, it's too late, I'm worried."

Xiao Jinli pushed the bicycle, first taking the cloth bag from Liu Juan's hand and placing it directly on the crossbar in front of him, then pointing to the back seat of the bicycle, "Get on."

Chu Lulu jumped up, hugged the familiar waist, and felt a little sleepy.

Liu Juan wasn't far away, riding her bike right behind the two of them. She saw Sister Lu nodding sleepily, and was just about to offer a word of advice…

Battalion Commander Xiao did not look back, as if he had something in mind.

He supported himself on the handlebars with one hand and held Lu Jie's head with the other.

For some reason, I feel like the two of them are kind of compatible?

The words of advice were stuck in his throat, and in the moonlight, the two figures in front of him seemed to stretch infinitely.

It seems that Battalion Commander Xiao, who is with Sister Lu, is not so scary?

Back at the military compound, Chu Lulu patted the hand that was covering her head. "I'm awake."

Those warm, large hands, concealing a patch of icy coldness on the back of their hands, silently withdrew their hands.

"Brothers, I'm late."

"But I brought you some delicious food, so dinner tonight is on me!"

People don't understand what "paying the bill" means.

But when they opened their lunchboxes, the sight of meat and vegetables made the soldiers of the Independent Battalion unconsciously swallow hard.

The food in the independent battalion was good, not to mention the chef's skills.

But!

So much meat and vegetables!

Even during the Lunar New Year, there weren't this many.

Chu Lulu waved her hand, "What are we waiting for? Let's... heat up the food first!"

Repairing the machine delayed my return.

The dishes were already cold, and some of them still had a layer of white grease on them.

Huang Chendong closed the lunchbox and looked at Chu Lulu, who was helping him take it, and said, "Sister Lulu, let me do it."

He was the guard of the independent battalion and also the caretaker of these people; he was used to serving them.

Can……

One person stood up!

Xiao Jinli moved a chair and placed it next to Chu Lulu. "Sit for a while. If you're hungry, have some steamed egg custard first."

Before picking him up, he went to the department store and bought two pounds of chicken cakes.

According to Huang Chendong, Lulu had fainted from hunger before, and her level of exhaustion was greater than he had anticipated.

While in Qingshui Village, although he was blind, his hearing and perception were enhanced to the maximum.

Moreover, his status did not allow him to relax.

After each acupuncture treatment, Lulu eats twice as long as before.

If Lulu goes up the mountain to gather herbs or hunt, her mealtime will also increase accordingly.

He paid special attention, but it didn't have the same profound impact as what Huang Chendong told him.

"Chicken cake?"

Chu Lulu looked up at the sponge cake that Xiao Jinli took out of the cabinet and blinked.

When was it purchased?

Having witnessed the entire process, Liu Juan silently shut her mouth!

She knew, but she couldn't say it.

After Battalion Commander Xiao took the lunchbox and cloth bag, he handed her the contents of his hand. The sponge cake was wrapped in parchment paper, and you couldn't see what was inside without opening it.

Xiao Jinli rolled up his sleeves and looked at her curious eyes. "I bought these in town today. If you like them, I'll buy you more another day."

Then……

He actually went to heat up the food!

Hot food!

Huang Chendong, who used to be both a father and a mother, couldn't help but rub his eyes.

Xiao the Demon King is having a hot meal?

I've never seen anything like this before!

"What are you staring at? This is such a small stove, I don't know how long it will keep warm."

"You must be exhausted after a long day of training. Hurry up and finish your food so you can go back to sleep."

Huang Chendong grinned; he understood, but he just wouldn't say anything.

Isn't it just because I saw the weariness between Lu Jie's brows?

The reason they came up with was so fresh and unconventional.

“I’ll take these. There are steamed buns in the shed outside. Heat up a few in your lunchbox first so that the hungry people can eat.”

Battalion Commander Xiao's excuse was perfect, but Chu Lulu, who was eating a bite of chicken cake and drinking a sip of warm water, didn't notice.

Oh, and my own bunch of silly boys too.

They're all still indulging in self-pity!

Huang Chendong: You're all a bit redundant to be used as shields!

Xiao Jinli carried the cloth bag, which was filled with many more buns, and walked straight out.

As for where he heated up the food, he had no idea.

"Sister Lu, your room smells so good."

Wang Ziqiang's main strength is courage!

The room was filled with the scent of flowers and grass, a fresh and natural fragrance, not an overpowering one, but a light floral aroma, even blended with the scent of grass.

They were very familiar with this smell during their field training exercises.

Chu Lulu looked up from the sponge cake and remembered that when she first moved in, she had thrown a fragrant pill into the flower basket.

"It tastes like Ningxiang Pills. If you like them, I'll give you a few."

"One fragrant pill can emit a scent that lasts for a month, and it is completely harmless to the human body. Multiple scents are available!"

She makes hundreds of these at a time, and her pharmacy has tens of thousands of them in stock.
